My Brother-in-law is the Prince

  Zhang Anshi was beaming.

  Happily took the letter, and then ordered someone to report to the palace, requesting an audience from the palace.

  Of course, before entering the palace, Zhang Anshi still needs to go to the East Palace.

  Prince Zhu Gaochi heard that Zhang Anshi was coming, he was a little strange, but he was busy asking someone to call Zhang Anshi.

  Seeing Zhu Gaochi, Zhang Anshi immediately said happily: "Brother-in-law, your majesty's serious problem has been solved."

   "Solved?" Zhu Gaochi was taken aback.

  He looked at Zhang Anshi, showing doubts.

  Zhang Anshidao: "Brother-in-law, what worries His Majesty the most now, has brother-in-law forgotten?"

  Zhu Gaochi groaned slightly, and then immediately said: "Visiting talented people all over the place?"

   "Yes." Zhang Anshi said: "Before, His Majesty was worried about this. At that time, he ordered my brother-in-law and I to go up together. Brother-in-law...have you forgotten?"

   "How dare you forget?" Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly, and then said: "Father is impatient, and at this time there is also a hidden worry. What An Shi said touched Father a lot!"

   Zhang Anshi was in the imperial court at the time, and believed that the European countries had been fighting for hundreds of years. Under the pressure of the war, a complete set of efficient systems would definitely be formed.

  This sense of crisis may not be taken seriously by others, but people like Zhu Di know it best.

  You must know that when he was in Peiping, he was threatened by outside the customs, and it was because of the threats and pressure that he constantly sharpened himself.

  This is also the reason why he can lead a group of civil servants and military generals trained in Beiping in a mere corner, but he can calm down and directly compete with Zhu Yunqi, who is ten times or a hundred times different in strength.

  The environment is too comfortable, and there are civil and military officials who have hardly been tempered. How could they be the opponents of Zhu Di's monarchs and ministers in the border town?

  In terms of merit examination, Yao Guangxiao, Jin Zhong and others around Zhu Di may be a hundred blocks away from people like Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru.

  In terms of legitimacy, Zhu Di is a traitor, while Zhu Yunqi is the emperor.

  But it was still the Yan army who set the tripod, and the world finally fell into Zhu Di's hands.

  Now Zhu Di is no longer worried about his children and grandchildren, at least whether it is the prince or the emperor's grandson, their performance has exceeded his expectations.

  But...how about the minister?

  If there are a group of people like Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru in the court, this group of literati who are almost unrealistic and only good at copying and copying can really assist the emperor in governing the world?

   After all, the system of Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent the problem of excessive power of relatives, did put a patch on it to limit the power of relatives.

   But at the same time, sooner or later, the ministers will be reduced to a group of people who only know empty talk but don't understand reality.

   This was actually barely usable in the previous Ming Dynasty.

However, with the introduction of the New Deal, government affairs became more busy, and more and more new things appeared from commerce to industry to maritime trade. It was no longer possible for Daming to rely on a group of Hanlin-born people to be able to Understand how the world works.

   To put it bluntly, the economic base has changed, but the supporting superstructure knows nothing about this base.

  Even a person as smart as Yang Rong has tried his best to understand and accept these new things, but it has actually become strenuous.

   What a shrewd person His Majesty is, he has already seen through such contradictions at a glance, so he ordered the prince and Zhang Anshi to formulate the regulations.

   On the one hand, it is to test the prince.

  On the other hand, I really want to find a way.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhang Anshi with scorching eyes and said, "This regulation, An Shi said at the beginning, was left to you to handle. But now, I waited and waited, but I never heard from you. Asked, I don't know how to answer. Why, now there are clues?"

   "Yes." Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "That's why I hope to enter the palace with my brother-in-law, but... still need to wait for someone to come."

   "Wait for someone..." Zhu Gaochi was taken aback, and asked curiously, "Who is this person?"

  Zhang Anshi said mysteriously: "A person... who my brother-in-law also knows well..."

  Zhu Gaochi: "..."

  ...

  Songjiang Estuary.

  A huge ship with the flag of "Zhang" has entered the port at this time.

  The people in the port have never heard of such a huge ship.

  At the Huating port, the connection of this huge ship has become a difficult problem for the civil and military officials here.

  You must know that the ship with the largest tonnage in the Ming Dynasty at this time was the Fuchuan. Therefore, many facilities in the port were built according to this size.

Now, such a big guy suddenly appeared, except for a civil official boarding the ship to negotiate, and then the other party took out the customs and defense documents of Xinzhou. It was a document from the Governor's Mansion of Xinzhou. The civil servant did not hesitate at all. Xinzhou is the fiefdom of His Highness the King of Wuhu County.

  His Royal Highness Wuhu County King, speaking of it, has a great relationship with this official. This official graduated from the customs school. Although it is only a beginner class, he knows best that His Royal Highness Wuhu County King is their parents.

  Almost all ships, customs and ports in Xinzhou will try their best to give some convenience.

   After that, some people disembarked with the officials.

  This person's complexion is a bit dark, but he has put on a new official robe. After a closer look, he is actually a third-rank official.

  The clerk was surprised, Xinzhou's Zhengsanpin... Good guy, he can no longer imagine the identity of the other party.

   Fortunately, this person is quite easy-going, and immediately asked the official about some situations.

  The civil servants answered quickly.

  The person asked about the salary of the civil servants.

  The official said: "Six taels per month."

   "It's not too small." The man said: "But if it's in Xinzhou Port, I'm afraid there will be nine taels. What Xinzhou lacks is people like you."

  The official said subconsciously: "The student has worked in the port for so many years, but he has never seen such a huge ship. I really didn't expect how such a ship was built?"

  The man just smiled and didn't answer, but asked: "Please prepare some horses, I want to go to Beijing immediately."

  The clerk understood that this person didn't want to answer his question, and he didn't want to say much, so he just said: "OK."

   Immediately, a group of people rushed to the capital.

  The clerk, watching the group of people leave, turned around and looked at the huge ship that had already entered the port.

  Compared with other ships, this ship is extraordinarily burly.

He muttered a few words in a low voice, but suddenly his eyes widened slightly, and he said abruptly: "Xinzhou, Peacock Bufu, third rank... Could this person be... Could it be the rumored long history of Xinzhou? Call... Call...Yang ...Yang..."

  He tried hard to recall, working in the port, after all, he also came into contact with many ships in Xinzhou, and occasionally heard some things that happened in Xinzhou.

  ...

   "Your Majesty..."

  Yi Shiha hurried into the hall.

  Zhu Di nodded.

  He is old, his temples have already turned gray, and his face has creased wrinkles like knives.

   It's just that pair of tiger eyes, still sharp and energetic.

   "What's the matter?" Zhu Di said calmly.

   "Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wuhu County, please see us at noon tomorrow."

  Zhu Di nodded: "Oh."

  Generally speaking, such memorials often involve important matters that need to be discussed in the palace.

  So Zhu Di said: "What's the matter?"

   "It is said that the charter has been drawn up."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Yi Shiha in surprise and said, "Have you made a plan?"

  He seemed to be interested, he cheered up, and said, "I'll take a look at it first."

  Generally, if it has been drafted, it will be submitted first to His Majesty for review, and then will be interviewed, and changes will be considered according to His Majesty's wishes.

  Ke Yishiha said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Wuhu County... didn't send the charter, only the day will tell."

  After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help being disappointed, and said in bewilderment: "The prince has become bad, and he has started to play tricks like Zhang Qing."

   At this time, a voice from the side said: "Your Majesty, no, uncle...His Royal Highness, he is very good. He will not follow my father's example."

  Zhu Di turned his gaze, and there was a young man in the corner. Zhang Changsheng was kneeling in the corner of the hall, holding a pen, and copying poems. At this moment, he couldn't help but make comments.

  Zhu Di is getting old, but his children and grandchildren are not around, so he feels lonely. Zhang Changsheng's entry into the palace, to a certain extent, filled this vacancy.

   Occasionally, there is a grandchild by my side, and I will talk about my courage and glory in the past in front of him. I have to say that this is a pleasant thing for the body and mind.

   What's more, this person is not only the son of his first wife Xu's niece, but also the son of his daughter-in-law's brother.

  Zhu Di smiled and said: "You don't care anymore."

  Zhang Changsheng said: "I have copied these poems thirty times."

  He drooped his head, looking dissatisfied.

  The corners of Zhu Di's lips curled up into a smile, and he said, "Copy it another thirty times, and I'll take you to learn riding and archery."

  Zhang Changsheng's eyes lit up at first, but after a while, the expectations that were almost overflowing just now disappeared suddenly.

   "Oh." Zhang Changsheng nodded and said: "But Your Majesty, last time you rode a horse, you almost fell, I'm worried..."

   "Fuck your mother." Zhu Di said angrily, "I've been riding a horse all my life, and that's just a wrong example for you."

  Zhang Changsheng is still young, even facing His Majesty today, he seems to be ignorant and innocent, so he said: "Nonsense, the Empress clearly said that His Majesty is old and can't ride a horse anymore, Your Majesty shouldn't be brave!"

  Zhang Chang looked at Zhu Di angrily.

  Zhu Di was furious, feeling that his self-esteem had been provoked, and said angrily, "Presumptuous."

   "My minister is dead." Zhang Changsheng said immediately.

  As the son of Zhang Anshi, this desire to survive is very strong.

   After finishing speaking, without saying anything, the sockets of my eyes began to turn red, and then I picked up the pen and continued to copy the poems silently with tears in my eyes.

  Long time.

  Zhu Di saw him sobbing in a low voice, still waving the pen in his hand.

   Immediately said: "Have you finished transcribing?"

  Zhang Changsheng said: "I copied it, but I didn't copy it."

  His voice was very soft, as if he was whispering.

  Zhu Di frowned strangely and said, "So what?"

  Zhang Changsheng said honestly: "I copied other things, not the poems His Majesty wants to teach me to copy."

  Zhu Di stood up and said softly, "What did you copy?"

  Zhang Changsheng said: "I silently wrote Han Yu's "Teacher's Talk"."

  Zhu Di couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

  This teacher's theory is a famous article through the ages. Of course, the most exciting part of it is that it explains the truth of studying from a teacher.

  This article focuses on criticizing the unhealthy atmosphere of not respecting teachers and being ashamed of learning from teachers.

  Zhu Di's face softened greatly, and even his patience improved a lot, and he said, "I just spoke a little more seriously."

  Zhang Changsheng said: "This minister is bold."

Zhu Di said: "I am too strong, hey... People are old, but they refuse to submit to old age. They always think that they have the courage of the past, but it makes people laugh. You must take me as a warning, and you must know what to do, what to do. Impossible, understand?"

"yes."

  Zhu Di said: "Then I won't take you to ride a horse, let me teach you how to practice sword."

  Zhang Changsheng hesitated for a moment before saying: "But...Your Majesty, the current firecracker can hit the enemy with a hundred steps. Now practicing swords, is it still useful?"

Zhu Di laughed loudly, and then said: "Practicing swords is of course useless if used to kill people. This is Xiaoyong. The real enemy of ten thousand people, is it mere swordsmanship? But practicing swords can sharpen people's will and strengthen people. If a person is willing to work hard to do something and has a strong physique, then there is nothing impossible in this world.”

"There is so much knowledge in the world that it is innumerable, but how can people know what to learn to be useful to them in the future? The so-called Confucianism has some knowledge, which is called self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace. Self-cultivation, in the eyes of rotten Confucians, is only interpreted as cultivating the body and mind, and cultivating virtue. But in my opinion, self-cultivation is actually to torture yourself, so that when you truly become a man, you have enough physique and energy to learn more affairs."

   "You are still young, in addition to learning some knowledge, you must learn riding, archery and swordsmanship. If you don't learn now, it will be too late in the future."

  Zhang Changsheng said: "I understand."

  Zhu Di smiled slightly: "From now on, you will treat you as the deputy general by my side, and I will rule you with military law."

  Zhang Changsheng: "..."

   After finishing speaking, Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Yi Shiha and said: "Tomorrow, take a short sword and give him longevity, and then find an armor and pick him a good bow."

  Yi Shi laughed and said: "The servant obeys the order."

  ...

   the next day.

  Yang Rong and others learned about the meeting between the crown prince and Zhang Anshi early on.

   Immediately, preparations were made for entering the temple.

   What this report is about is the regulations of the imperial court, so all officials value it very much.

  In fact, this is also understandable. The ancients called the promotion of talents a grand ceremony of talents. It can be seen that the promotion of talents is related to the future of a country, and it is the most sloppy.

  What's more... In terms of vital interests, the selection of talents is the most important thing for officials.

  After all, the standards for identifying talents have changed, and this is also related to their own future and destiny.

  In these days, there are many discussions about this matter every day.

  Most people are worried.

  They were worried that Zhang Anshi would put private goods on it again, but they also thought that the prince would be stable, so maybe he would not be so radical.

  So I was in a state of anxiety, as if my boots were about to fall to the ground.

  Yang Rong said to Hu Guang: "Look, these days, all the officials are restless. How many people's fates are affected by this regulation."

  Hu Guang sighed: "The old man's heart is like calm water."

  Yang Rong smiled and said: "That's true. Fortunately, Hu Gong, he knew that he was not a talent, so he was able to see it."

  Hu Guangdao: "You..."

  You are hurting again!

   "It's just a joke." Yang Rong immediately laughed: "Hu Gongping always says that he is mediocre. How can you be humble yourself, but others can't?"

  Hu Guang said seriously: "You can say it behind your back, but you can't say it in person!"

  Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang, a little helpless, and finally said: "Come on, let's go to the palace."

   Hundreds of officials came to Chongwen Hall one after another.

   Soon after, Zhu Di was promoted.

  Long live Baiguanshan.

  Zhu Di looked around: "The prince and Wuhu County King haven't entered the palace yet?"

  Yi Shiha hurried over and said: "Your Majesty, I went to ask, and said that I was waiting for someone, and I will be here soon. It is a bit late, so..."

  Zhu Di pressed his hand: "Then wait a while."

   Not long after, an **** came to play: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Wuhu County King, and Xinzhou Governor Shi Yang Shiqi have an audience."

   Zhu Di didn't think there was any difference between the first two people.

   It's just the long history of Xinzhou that makes Zhu Di frown slightly.

  He seems to have a little impression of the long history of Xinzhou.

  Yang Shiqi... It seems that he used to be a Hanlin, a man who knows the past and the present.

  Zhu Di said: "Xuan."

  The three entered the hall and saluted.

  Zhu Di glanced behind Zhu Gaochi and Zhang Anshi, only to see someone wearing a peacock patched suit and a winged hat. Behind Zhu Gaochi, a thin man with no Hanlin style.

  Zhu Di immediately said: "Get flat."

  Zhu Gaochi said: "Father, my ministers and the king of Wuhu County are planning to use their talents. I implore Your Majesty to have a look."

   "What about the charter?"

  Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, stand here, this is a living regulation."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  The people in the temple were in an uproar.

  Many people have a little impression of Yang Shiqi.

  Especially many Hanlin people more than ten years ago, this Yang Shiqi was their colleague back then.

   It's just that they haven't met each other for more than ten years, and many people have almost forgotten that there is such a person.

   Mentioning this Yang Shiqi, there are quite a lot of sympathizers in the DPRK and China. After all... As an Hanlin, what a noble status, the future is limitless.

  As for Yang Shiqi, don't look at him as a third-rank long history, but in fact, in the eyes of the people in the court, even if he is a first-rank, he can't be compared with the nobles in the court.

   Poor this person, exiled abroad, originally had a great future, but now... it has become like this.

  Especially Yang Shiqi's disheveled appearance made people shake their heads secretly.

Pity.

  Zhu Di asked suspiciously: "A living charter?"

Zhang Anshidao: "Your Majesty, this person is Yang Shiqi. He has successively served as editor, editor, and reader of the Imperial Academy. Entering the imperial court, I came here to pay homage to His Majesty. This... is what the minister said about the regulations for talents."

  Zhu Di's complexion became more and more strange.

   Zhang Anshi, this kid, can always live up to everyone's expectations and complete all kinds of tricks.

   Fortunately, Zhu Di has long been used to it, so he didn't feel surprised, and just nodded: "Yang Qing stepped forward."

  Yang Shiqi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "My minister Yang Shiqi."

  Zhu Di said: "How about Xinzhou?"

  Yang Shiqi said: "It's still good."

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "What is better?"

  Yang Shiqi said: "Comparable to Suzhou and Hangzhou."

  Zhu Di: "..."
